To many to list - generally an E-MU 0404 combined with a Project Ember for my desktop use

Power Supply:

Seasonic SS-750KM Gold cert, modular PS

Software:

Win 7 64 // TP should have a connectivity portion on specs - run through WRT1900AC Router

Joined Little confused it seems on getting the GPU to run. Currently working a lot of tasks but no gpu usage? Do some tasks use the GPU and others not? I checked to use GPU while computer is in use and checked to use GPU always. But no activity. Just CPU rocking away!

I'm new to this myself but there's a tonne of hoops to jump through for it to work smoothly.

I see you have a 7970, so you could easily get 4 WU's on your gpu. Do you know there is an xml file you can use to make your gpu do more work?

Yeah very irritating, no time to set it up today so leaving it run on my cpu. Hate sounding like an arse but people this smart, doing this much awesome stuff should have software in which I can click a few check boxes and walk away lol All good, happy Saturday!

If you're running default there's no reason why it shouldn't be supplying the WU. You can quickly help diagnose the problem if you go to Advanced> Run CPU Benchmarks. And check the Event Log (Ctrl+Shift+E) for something like this:

If you get any errors let us know. Otherwise if you are not seeing your version of that, then either you need to check that you've installed all the Catalyst driver options or that your "default" profile in the WCG site is set to:
(Under Device Manager, click on the profile next to your computer and Make sure both the HCC project and that option are ticked).

Welcome aboard! As KieX said, you need to make sure that WCG is set to allow GPU computing

Pretty much crunching ALL the things right now Are there set things the team is crunching specifically - to focus on?

As long as your crunching on World Community grid it is fine to crunch on all projects. We are currently participating in a challenge for the Help Conquer Cancer project so a lot of us have opted to only crunch that project until the end of the challenge (options are availble on the WCG website to select the project and setup a different profile with different work)

Awesome thanks! That was the dealio. Was not checked in my profile. I now show things crunching on all 8 cores and a +1 ATI GPU Bouncing around crunching random things. Need to have the card crunch more so will have to figure that out. never passes 67%.

Got it, thanks. Checked to focus on childhood cancer and conquer cancer for right now. Pretty cool! Brings me back to early seti stuff I did back in early 2000's lol

Unfortunately as you found out- the software on WCG's website isn't compatible with Win8. You can use the 7.0.44 Beta version from the BOINC website, it runs 100% fine for just about everyone. Also, use latest the Cat. graphics drivers if you want to run more than one gpu wu at a time under Win8
